=============================================== Word Lists (:py:class:`~lingpy.basic.wordlist`) =============================================== Word lists represent the core of LingPy's data model, and a proper understanding of how we deal with word lists is important for automatic cognate detection, alignments, and borrowing detection. The basic class that handles word lists, is the :py:class:`~lingpy.basic.wordlist.Wordlist` class, which is also the base class of the :py:class:`~lingpy.compare.lexstat.LexStat` class for automatic cognate detection and the :py:class:`~lingpy.align.sca.Alignments` class for multiple alignment of cognate words. .. currentmodule:: lingpy.basic.wordlist Functions --------- .. autosummary:: ~lingpy.basic.wordlist.get_wordlist Classes ------- .. autosummary:: ~lingpy.basic.wordlist.Wordlist
